The CS2 community was caught off guard with the recent announcement of Denis "electroNic" Sharipov's move from Cloud9 to Virtus.pro, and Team Vitality's captain Dan "apEX" Madesclaire shared his sentiments on the matter.

Good luck mister @electronicCSGO ! Good to see that this transfer hasn’t been leaked at all and we all surprised.   

apEX expressed on social media, highlighting the rarity of such a well-kept secret in the esports industry.

The news of electroNic's shift to Virtus.pro emerged on April 15th, with the player set to fill the shoes of Nikolay "mir" Bityukov in VP's starting lineup. Further details on this surprising transfer can be found on Cybersport.ru's coverage.

His tenure also included participation in various other major tournaments, including a 5th-8th place finish at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
